| I hate the move honestly. NASCAR takes not only one of the few stand alone races away, but of the better tracks as well. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

The Busch race and the Rolex series were added to the bill at IMS to boost ticket sales.
IRP will still have the trucks and K&N. All other IRP events will go on as planned. |

| As of right now, neither the Trucks nor Nationwide will race on their customary weekends. There is hope for a standalone weekend sometime in the future. http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationw...ace-brickyard/ |

the race sucks because the cars aren't made for the Speedway. another race with the same cars isn't going to make it more exciting. |
